Industry trade fair Innotrans: AI is supposed to make train travel more efficient and reliable
Artificial intelligence will also play a major role in rail traffic, experts are certain. A glimpse of this can be seen at the Innotrans mobility fair in Berlin.
Siemens Mobility CEO Michael Peter and Alstom CEO Martin Sion discussed the role of artificial intelligence in the rail sector at the Innotrans mobility fair in Berlin. AI can help reduce delays and improve maintenance efficiency, with Alstom's "Talk to my train" assistant helping teams identify and repair problems faster. German Transport Minister Steffen Bilger acknowledged that passengers have yet to feel the benefits, citing the country's aging rail network and frequent delays.
The German rail company, DB, is implementing a new strategy, "DB 2035", to improve services, while Ukrainian rail chief Oleksandr Pertsovskyi warned of the need for military protection for rail infrastructure. The EU Commission aims to simplify cross-border rail travel with unified tickets.
